Value by kind of work

Turns of mixed coding work the allowance covers in a month, each kind on the plan’s cheapest model that is good enough. How this is worked out.

Work mix	Turns a month	Per dollar
Light only (100% light)	1.8k–4.3k	11–26
Mostly light (40% normal, 60% light)	30–81	0.18–0.48
Balanced (5% frontier, 15% hard, 60% normal, 20% light)	0.27–0.7	0.0016–0.0042
Mostly hard (10% frontier, 40% hard, 40% normal, 10% light)	0.13–0.33	0.00075–0.002

On the balanced mix: frontier work on GLM-5.3 (max reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; hard work on GLM-5.3 (max reasoning), counting 0% of a turn; normal work on GLM-5.3 (max reasoning), counting 1% of a turn; light work on GLM-5.3-Flash (default reasoning), counting 54% of a turn.

How the figure was obtained

Weekly credits converted with Z.ai's published token-to-credit formula and valued at GLM API prices. Low end: every token at the least favourable rate, all peak hours. High end: most favourable rate, all off-peak (half credits).
